City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee 11/4/20
B
All
right:
well,
we
are
live,
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
I'm
looking
to
see
what
time
it
is.
I'm
going
to
give
us
another
minute,
but
we
are,
I
hope,
everybody's
had
a
restful
night
and
you're
you're
eager
to
start
this
morning.
We
do
know
the
mayor
was
not
gonna
be
able
to
make
it
in
today.
B
I
think
he
was
up
well
he's
got
a
busy
schedule
so
anyways.
We
will
miss
him
today,
but
I
do
know.
Katie
richardson
and
a
few
others
are
coming
in
and
then
I'm
gonna
dan's
coming
on
dan
is
gonna,
be
oh
anton's.
There.
B
C
Hey
now,
I
am
I'm
good
now
good
morning,
everyone
good
morning,
good
morning,
happy
wednesday
morning
november,
4th
to
everyone.
C
I
want
to
make
sure
we
try
to
keep
everything
on
schedule
and
get
started
so
first,
let
me
do
a
quick,
welcome
and
called
to
order
of
this
meeting
for
november
4th
to
me
november
meeting,
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
to
review
the
minutes
from
the
previous
meeting.
So
I
hope
everyone
has
been
able
to
get
access
to
their
email
and
have
the
opportunity
to
review
the
meeting
minutes
from
the
october
7th
meeting.
C
And
so
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
give
people
about
45
seconds
to
review
those
and
then
I'd
be
happy
to
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
those,
and
so
we
can
approve
them
and
move
to
the
next
part
of
the
agenda.
B
And
end
time,
why
everybody's
doing
that?
I
just
want
to
thank
all
those
who
work
so
diligently
and
hard
throughout
this
whole
campaign
process
of
the
election
that
I
know
the
results
are
all
over
the
place,
but
there's
so
many
things
for
all
those
people
working
hard-
and
I
know
anton
you
and
the
mayor
were
right
there.
So
thank
you
all
for
all
you've
been
doing.
C
Yeah
well,
I
appreciate
that,
and
we
all
you
know,
live
in
in
the
greatest
country
in
the
world,
no
matter
what
we
want
to
think
about
or
to
say
about
it
at
this
point,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
all
contribute
beyond
just
you
know,
participating
as
citizens
and
so
for
everyone
who
volunteers
and
spends
their
time
committed
to
the
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee.
C
I
want
to
thank
you
too,
because
this
is
a
part
of
citizenship,
not
just
voting,
but
what
you
do,
after
the
election
and
in
between
the
elections
to
make
your
communities
and
your
cities
and
your
states
a
better
place,
and
so
definitely
shout
out
to
everybody.
So
definitely
a
long
process,
but
glad
to
to
see
some
finality
to
it.
C
Thank
you
for
that.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
of
accepting
the
move,
they're
accepting
the
menace
as
presented
do
so
by
saying
I
and
raise
your
right
hand
on
camera.
I
I
I
those
opposed
do
likewise.
C
Okay,
great
the
minutes
have
been
accepted
and
approved.
I
thank
you
all
for
that.
Now,
I'd
like
to
move
to
item
number
three
on
the
agenda
and
have
dr
julie
lawrence,
give
us
a
update
or
overview
around
overdoses
in
mental
health
during
covert
19
to
just
kind
of
know
where
things
are
right
now.
F
Great
great
well,
thank
you
for
giving
me
some
time
I'll
try
to
make
good
use
of
your
time
this
morning
and
tell
you
about
some
important
new
updates
and
then
ways
that
maybe
we
can
work
together.
F
Just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I've
been
on
the
pharmacist
in
the
charleston
area
for
over
25
years.
I've
been
I
work
in
the
broker
st
francis
system,
but
about
five
years
ago
I
got
involved
with
our
trying
to
serve
as
a
pharmacy
role
in
the
opioid
epidemic,
so
with
wake
up
carolina
and
then
with
the
edge
drug
prevention
alliance.
F
I
serve
kind
of
in
a
pharmacy
capacity
and
my
focus
was
trying
to
improve,
take
back
to
remove
opioids
from
households
and
try
to
engage
the
public
and
educate
people
about
how
to
make
their
families
and
their
households
safer
and
then,
within
robert
st
francis,
we
started
the
opioid
reduction
team
also
about
five
years
ago,
and
our
focus
there
has
been
from
a
health
care
point
of
view.
How
can
we
limit
exposure
in
in
the
first
place
so
that
we're
not
starting
pain,
medications
on
people
and
using
other
methods
instead?
F
So
today
I
want
to
start
by
kind
of
telling
you
where
we
are.
This
is
the
latest
information
if
you're
familiar
with
just
plainkillers.com.
This
is
where
dhec
posts
the
latest
informations
related
to
opioids.
So
I
took
a
screenshot
here.
We
usually
have
about
an
eight
or
nine
month
lag,
so
the
most
recent
information
is
from
2019,
although
I
do
have
some
2020
information
for
you
to
share
in
just
a
moment.
F
But
when
you
look
here
at
this
map
of
this
of
south
carolina,
we
we
tend
to
have
about
three
hot
spots,
so
the
charleston
area
here
and
then
berkeley
horry
county.
This
is
florence
middle
of
the
state,
around
columbia
and
richmond
york
and
then
up
into
the
greenville
area,
so
greenville
ore
and
charleston.
F
F
So
definitely
some
some
areas
to
be
concerned
about
and
then
closer
to
home.
These
are
so
in
our
tri-county
area,
so
berkeley.
The
first
column
is
total
drug
overdoses,
so
between
2018
and
2019,
12.5
percent
increase,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
can
switch
my
screen
around,
but
for
the
opioid
overdoses
an
increase
in
berkeley
county
as
well
charleston,
you
can
see
an
increase
and
just
like
it
correlates
to
that
map.
I
just
showed
you.
F
We
tend
to
kind
of
tick
up
a
little
bit
each
year
we
may
not
be
the
highest,
but
we're
definitely
one
in
the
top
three
typically,
we've
had
some
great
success
with
dorchester.
Dorchester
has
gone
down
in
both
categories
by
a
significant
amount,
so
that
that's
great
news
so
with
cobit.
This
is
kind
of
what
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention.
F
We
were
concerned
that
we
would
see
some
negative
effects
of
that.
You
know
from
the
isolation
changes
with
job
status,
lots
of
stress
and
anxiety
on
folks
not
being
able
to
get
to
meetings.
Perhaps
if
people
are
in
recovery,
and
so
that
has
come
to
fruition.
So
this
is
the
governor
started
in
april,
the
opioid
emergency
response
team
and
in
gosh.
What
month
was
this?
I
guess
was
in
may
was
the
latest.
F
F
F
So
if
we
have,
we
have
data
through
september
and
compared
to
2019
we're
at
50
higher
overdoses
than
we
were
in
2019.,
so
lots
of
reasons
to
be
concerned,
and
then
this
map
over
to
the
right
is
a
heat
map
of
where
the
overdoses
are.
So
what
I,
what
stands
out
to
me
in
this
is,
of
course
we
have
those
darker
red
orange
spots
that
correlate
to
that
map
that
I
showed
you
earlier.
F
But
the
other
thing
to
be
concerned
about
are
all
the
all
the
dots
that
are
all
in
between
those
are
largely
rural
areas.
It's
harder
for
folks
in
those
areas
to
access
some
of
our
services,
and
so
we
definitely
need
to
be
reaching
out
to
all
to
the
rural
areas
as
well,
because
there's
concern
there.
F
F
11
of
americans
considered
suicide
in
the
month
of
june,
and
this
is
twice
the
number
from
2019,
so
double
the
rate
from
from
the
year
before.
So
really,
really,
you
know
concerning
numbers
and
then
in
the
second
bullet
point
when
you
look
at
where
did
the
highest
risk
come
from
so
30
of
unpaid,
caregivers
for
adults
and
then
one
out
of
four
of
you
know:
young
people
18
to
24
year
olds,
actively
considered
suicide
in
the
month
of
june.
F
I
know
from
our
own
area
of
working
with
the
coroner
that
you
know
we're
seeing
these
and
unfortunately
in
our
in
our
own
area,
in
our
own
neighborhood.
So
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
The
rates
of
depression
and
anxiety
have
quadrupled
and
tripled.
You
probably
know
that
from
people
that
may
be
in
your
family
in
your
friend
groups,
people
that
you
work
with,
I
know
I
hear
it
from.
F
I
have
three
young
adult
children,
and
they
tell
me
stories
about
you-
know
lots
of
their
friends
they're
really
struggling
with
with
not
knowing
what's
gonna
happen
and
with
changes
to
their
situation
with
school
with
their
jobs.
It's
very,
very
stressful,
so
lots
of
need
for
mental
health
help
and
lots
of
need
for
people
who
are
in
recovery
and
need
help
with
recovery.
F
So
one
of
my
concerns-
you
know
all
these
five
years.
I've
been
working
in
the
space
is,
is
how
to
how
to
connect
people
with
help.
I'm
sure
you
all
look
at
the
charleston
needs
assessment
survey,
so
I
looked
at
that
from
2019.
That's
the
latest
information
that
we
have
out
they.
I
don't
think
that
they
send
it
out
for
2020
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
even
last
year,
when
they
asked
you
know,
survey
I
think
was
about
5
000
people
in
our
tri-county
area.
F
Most
people
did
not
know
where
to
go
to
get
help
for
either
substance
use
disorder
or
for
mental
health,
and
the
options
ran
the
gamut
from
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
er.
I'm
going
to
go
talk
to
my
doctor,
I'm
going
to
go
to
my
church,
I'm
going
to
talk
to
a
friend
people.
Just
you
know
guessed.
They
really
didn't
know
where
to
go.
So
I
was
really
happy
to
find
out
in
september
that
our
in
our
own
state,
we've
had
great
success
with
these
departments.
F
Deodos
and
the
south
carolina
department
of
mental
health
have
received
some
federal
funding
and
they've
put
together
this
hotline.
So
it's
a
1844
south
carolina
hoax.
That
is
a
one-stop
shop
where
you
can
send
people
for
these
problems.
So
if
it's
mental
health
support,
if
it's
access,
you
know
for
addiction
needing
treatment,
centers
or
somebody
locally,
and
then
they
also
have
a
third
kind
of
buy
line.
F
That's
for
health
care
workers
that
are
struggling
during
cohort
with
either
one
of
those
two
which
is
a
nice
little
niche,
because,
of
course,
all
of
our
healthcare
workers
are
that
are
in
the
trenches
are
really
having
a
hard
time
with
what
they're,
seeing
what
they're
coping
with
so
I've
talked
with
the
director
of
this
program
and
kind
of
gotten
some
details
about
how
it
works.
It
sounds
like
a
fantastic
resource.
F
It's
it's
a
place
where
the
person
answering
who's
answering
these
phone
calls
has
been
trained
knows
how
to
direct
the
caller
to
resources.
Then
programs
that
are
in
your
own
area.
You
know
so
they're
going
to
ask
you
where
you're
calling
from
and
then
be
able
to
to
tailor
that
answer
to
a
place
where
that's
local
to
you
for
for
either
of
these.
These
two
problems.
F
So
that's
great
news,
so
I
have
it
asked
and
it's
coming
hold
on.
So
one
of
the
first
things
is
to
tell
you
what
we've
done
with
represent
francis.
F
So
with
with
my
you
know:
community
involvement
with
the
prevention
organizations
we've
been
able
to
place
some
take
back
boxes,
both
in
law
enforcement
and
at
retail
pharmacies,
but
we
this
past
year
we
did
get
a
grant
through
trident
united
way,
holler
out
to
them,
which
has
really
helped
us
go
out
into
the
community
and
we're
especially
trying
to
get
into
those
rural
areas
where
they
don't
have
access
to
safe
disposal
of
prescription,
especially
opioid
drugs.
So
last
year
we
were
able
to
collect
over
700
pounds.
F
If
you
can
see
that
in
person
it
is
just
bags
and
bags
and
bags
of
medications
this
year
we're
up
to
over
400
pounds.
Obviously,
we've
been
hampered
by
the
situation
with
pandemic.
So
for
months
and
months
we
weren't
able
to
get
out
there,
but
we
came
up
with
the
idea
of
doing
a
drive-by
drop
off,
so
we've
had
great
success
with
people
just
pulling
up
in
their
cars
and
we
take
what
they
have.
I've
had
great
success
working
with
local
law
enforcement.
F
I'm
really
really
good
partners
shout
out
to
the
departments
of
the
police
departments
in
charleston,
north
charleston,
mount
pleasant
and
the
berkeley
and
charleston
county
sheriff's
office
have
both
been
all
of
them
have
been
really
really
helpful.
So
we
have
some
some
new
events
that
are
coming
up.
F
F
We
can
hold
them
anywhere
at
a
business
in
a
you
know,
you
know
a
lobby,
you
know
public
parks
anywhere
as
long
as
we
have
our
law
enforcement
partners
with
us
and
they've
been
great
and
they've
turned
out
every
time
that
I've
asked
them.
You
know
to
come
out,
so
if
you
have
ideas
of
an
of
an
area
that
has
a
need,
we'd
love
to
partner
with
you
on
that.
So
please
let
me
know,
and
the
last
thing
is
about
the
south
carolina
hopes.
F
I
told
you
I'd
spoken
with
the
director
for
that
program.
He's
trying
his
best
to
get
the
word
out
about
this.
He
has
it
on
some
billboards.
I've
seen
some
tv
commercials
with
it
he's
trying
to
get
out
in
social
media,
but
I
really
just
haven't
seen
it
everywhere
and
it's
such
a
great
resource
for
our
community.
I
think
it's
something
that
that
we
need
to
do
for
ourselves.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
to
step
up.
F
You
know
each
of
us
whether
it's
a
business
or
a
public
entity
and
try
to
do
your
share
and
do
what
you
can
to
let
your
employees
know
about
it.
We've
spread
it
within
river,
st
francis
to
all
of
our
teammates.
F
I
sent
it
to
law
enforcement
to
post
on
their
their
social
media
websites,
but
it'd
be
great
if
we
could
get
it
out
to
students
and
parents
and
then
the
last
thing
would
be
if
there's,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
could
bundle
our
resources,
you
know.
Maybe
each
of
us,
you
know,
couldn't
do
a
large
thing
or
afford
to
do
a
large
thing
on
our
own.
But
if
we,
if
we
bundled
our
resources
and
we're
creative,
maybe
we
could
do
big
things
together.
C
Wow
you
that
was
there
was
a
lot
and
you
know
heavy,
but
and
also
difficult
to
hear
some
of
the
challenges
that
people
are
having.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
open
it
up
from
questions.
So
I
have
a
couple
comments
in
the
chat
that
I
want
to
read,
because
I
know
people
on
youtube
may
not
be
able
to
see
that
dmh
also
has
a
statewide
mobile
crisis
phone
number,
where
clinicians
are
ready
to
help
24
7
365..
C
That
number
is
833
dmh
ccri.
If
you
could
give
me
the
numbers,
the
actual
numbers
for
that.
So
we
can
make
sure
people
know
what
those
numbers
are
and
then
joey
has
a
question
which
is:
do
you
have
overdose
data
disaggregated
by
race
and
ethnicity?
C
If
not,
do
you
have
a
sense
of
what
that
would
look
like,
particularly
how
racially
diverse
communities
are
impacted
by
some
of
these
statistics
that
you
share
with
us.
F
Yeah,
let
me
see
what
I
can
find
real
quick.
I
have
this
website
up
open.
It's
going
to
refresh
here
real
quick.
I
believe
it
is
on
this
site,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
can
access
it,
quick
enough
to
give
you
an
answer,
but
I
I
do
have
it
by
gender
and
age.
They
show
this
here.
G
F
Just
like
we
always
talk
about
it's
it's
everybody.
You
know
there
really
isn't
anybody
who's
not
at
risk,
and
also
I
want
to
tell
you
too,
that
the
overdoses
I
was.
I
was
curious
to
see
how
how
they
were
going
to
split,
because
we
have
had,
I
think,
in
healthcare.
The
idea
that
we've
got
the
prescription
opioids
under
control.
F
Not
a
problem
and
that
now
it's
illicit
drugs,
you
know
it's
heroin,
methamphetamine
cocaine,
but
the
data
that
I
got
from
deotas.
You
know
within
50
higher
than
last
year.
It
actually
is
split.
It
still
continues
to
be
prescription
drugs
and
illicit
drugs
both.
But
if
you
want
some
more
detailed
data,
I
know
we're
kind
of
short
for
time.
I
would
send
you
to
the
justplainkillers.com
website
you'll
be
able
to
find
all
that
detailed
data
in
there.
C
Okay,
great,
thank
you
any
other
questions
for
on
this
presentation.
I
know
we
all
are
taking
it
all
in
at
the
same
time,
are
there
other
ideas
or
other
things
that
we
could
be
doing
at
home
so
like
when
we
see
things
manifesting
in
our
families
or
people
that
we
have
close
relationships
with?
C
I
know
you
know
it's
great:
to
have
a
hotline
a
number
to
call
24
7.,
but
is
there
any
thought
process
for
people
in
their
communities
to
be
able
to
try
to
support
people
in
in
this
way,
particularly
around
the
mental
health
piece,
the
opioid
piece?
Of
course
you
definitely
have
to
see
medical
health
and
medical
assistance,
but
is
there
anything
that
you
would
recommend
that
we
do
individually.
F
Yeah,
absolutely,
I
think
the
best
advice
I
would
give
is
is
when
you
see
some
somebody
struggling
to
say
something
you
know
it
has
with
so
many
things
that
personal
connection
just
makes
all
the
difference.
You
know
to
actually
connect
with
somebody
and
for
somebody
to
to
recognize
and
see
that
pain
and
struggle.
That
somebody
else
is
going
through
often
is
the
first
step.
A
F
Finding
help
so
you,
if
you
see
something
you
know
and
somebody
that
you
know
you
do
pull
them
aside
and
say:
hey.
It
looks
like
you're
having
a
rough
day.
You
know,
do
you
want
to
talk
about
it
and
and
sometimes
just
making
that
first
step
just
opens
the
door.
C
Very
good
and
again
jennifer.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
putting
this
into
the
chat
that
the
department
of
mental
health's
statewide
mobile
crisis
number
is.
C
843-414-2350
and
that's
the
charleston
assessment
mobile
crisis
line,
they
also
take
walk-ins
monday
through
friday,
from
9
00
a.m,
to
3
p.m,
in
both
charleston
and
in
somerville.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
for
that.
If
you
could
just
stop
sharing
your
screen,
julie.
F
A
F
Great,
so
let
me
answer
your
second
part
first,
so
how
they're
secured
dea
has
very
stringent
rules
about
where
they
can
be
placed
to
begin
with,
so
they
only
allow
them
to
be
with
law
enforcement,
so
obviously
those
those
sites
are
secured
and
then
they
allow
them
to
be
in
pharmacies
with
very
stringent
rules.
You
know
they're
they're
bolted
to
the
floor
or
their
wall.
F
They
have
to
be
in
close
proximity
to
the
pharmacy.
They
have
to
be
in
a
place
that
has
a
lot
of
public
view.
So
and
then
it's
like
a
mailbox,
it's
a
it's
a
one-way
like
you
know,
opening
so
and
and
the
rest
of
it's
locked.
So
really
you
can't
get
access
to
it.
Now
forget
what
your
first,
your
question
was.
F
Yeah
with
a
permanent
lab,
so
we
have
a
opioid
tab
on
represent
francis.
You
know
on
our
website,
so
we
have
it
placed
there.
F
C
Very
good
any
other
questions
comments
on
this.
H
I
have
one
yes,
please
and
I'd
just
like
to
thank
you
julie
for
doing
a
beautiful
job
of
as
one
of
our
partners.
I'm
talking
about
that
program.
H
So
if
you
reach
out
to
us,
we'd
be
happy
to
do
we're
doing
zoom
classes
at
this
point,
but
it
just
helps
you
I
like
julie,
was
saying
record,
know
what
to
what
to
recognize
and
then
what
to
do.
If
you
do
experience
somebody
that
needs
some
help,
we
also
have
a
suicide
prevention
office
at
our
state
office
that
they're
we're
happy
to
go
to
schools
or
churches
or
anywhere
and
educate
people
about
about
what
to
do
for
suicide
prevention
and,
of
course,
we're
open
for
walk-ins
here
in
charleston
and
somerville.
H
But
if
it's
an
emergency
emergency
I
mean
you
can
walk
in
any
time.
We're
open
we're
not
going
to
say
no,
it's
3
30.
so
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
aware
of
that
and
yeah.
Both
of
those
numbers
for
mobile
crisis
are
available,
and
actually
our
center
is
now
taking
all
the
mobile
crisis
calls
for
the
state.
So
please
reach
out
to
us.
Even
if
you
don't
know,
if
it's
serious
or
not
we'll
help,
you
walk
you
through
it
so
and
again
julie.
H
C
Yeah
julian
we'll
come
back
to
you
because
you're
actually
on
the
agenda
next
mayor,
you
had
your
hand
up.
I
know
you
had
a
question
or
comment.
Yeah.
I
I
wanted
to
thank
julie
for
the
presentation,
and
I
know
that
you
and
jennifer
worked
with
our
police
and
fire
departments
already,
but
given
the
the
information
you
shared
about
the
increase
this
year
with
2020,
which
doesn't
surprise
me
with
cobia
19
going
on,
but
I
haven't
seen
the
statistics
yet
I'd
like
to
just
reconnect
and
make
sure
we're
have
the
latest
greatest
partnership
and
information
going
out,
they
contact
more
people
but
also
then
and
carolyn.
I
know-
can
help
on
this
too.
I
We'll
do
some
social
media
with
you
to
spread
the
word
as
well
before
the
end
of
the
year.
So
thank
you
so
much.
C
Is
next
on
the
agenda
and
so
jennifer?
I
know
you
just
gave
her
a
few
remarks.
Do
you
have
anything
else
you
like
to
add
to
help
us
to
know
about
from
a
dmh
standpoint
what
we
can
be
doing,
what
you
guys
are
doing
or
anything
that
would
be
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
and
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
charleston
need
to
know.
H
Well,
the
other
thing
that
we
are
doing
is
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
more
faith-based
groups,
and
so
we've
been
doing
it's
not
really
a
mental
health
first
aid
class,
because
those
are
eight
hours
long,
but
we're
happy
to
do
any
length
of
time
you're
willing
to
listen
to
us
to
talk
about
where
to
go,
what
to
do
what
to
recognize,
but
we
are
trying
to
reach
out
to
everybody.
H
So
if
you,
if
anybody,
has
any
interest
in
hearing
what
we
do
and
are
our
programs
available
for
people,
please
let
me
know
and
other
than
that
we're
here
for
you
365
days
a
year.
So
please
call
us.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
really
appreciate
your
work
and
your
help
and
your
leadership.
Okay.
So
we're
now
on
agenda
item
five,
which
is
really
kind
of
a
covet
update
local
health
update.
So
dr
richardson,
I
know
you're
on,
I
don't
know
if
you
have
slides
or
a
presentation
or
just
a
verbal
update,
I'd
love
to
to
have
that.
C
G
G
So
you
can
see
you
know,
we've
been
on
kind
of
a
very,
very
slight
increase
in
cases
at
the
zip
code
level.
You
know
so
we're.
We
seem
to
be
faring
pretty
well
right
now.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
interesting
to
see
what
happens
over
the
next
couple
weeks,
but
at
this
moment
we
seem
to
be
still
be
doing
well,
even
though
we
are
seeing,
you
know
a
slight
trend
upwards
in
cases
which
we
don't
want
to
see
at
all
right.
G
We
hope
we'd
like
to
see
it
keep
going
down,
but
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
big
a
difference
we're
seeing
this
kind
of
looks
at
the
past
four
weeks
when
the
week,
starting
the
total
new
cases
from
testing
and
then
kind
of
what
that
weekly
change
has
been.
G
So
you
can
see
from
october
5th
to
12th
we
saw
you
know
a
fairly
good
increase
in
new
cases,
slight
decrease
and
then
last
week
we
saw
another
uptick
in
cases,
so
obviously
we're
we're
not
trending
in
a
good
good
way,
but
it's
not
it's,
not
the
surge
that
some
places
are
seeing.
G
I
guess
another
important
thing
to
talk
about
just
briefly
just
for
an
update,
employee
cases
I
know.
Obviously
paul
is
on
the
call,
as
well
as
jan-
and
you
know,
jan
with
our
safety
team,
their
work
and
and
helping
to
ensure
that
you
know
we
limit
exposure
at
the
workplace
has
been
really
really
critical
and
right
now
we
have
three
active
cases
and
nine
others
waiting
for
test
results
and
that's
been
very,
very
low.
I
would
say
since
really
since
july,
so
we've
managed
to
keep
employee
cases
really
down.
G
So
last
week,
when
I
checked
in
with
musc,
I
wanted
to
check
in
on
hospitalizations
musc
reported
still,
you
know
really
low
census
count
for
covid
patients.
They
did
mention
that
roper
had
seen
a
slight
uptick
in
kovic
cases,
so
I'd
really
like
to
under.
If
someone
has
some
recent
numbers
from
this
week
on
roper
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
hear
from
them
to
understand,
if
that's,
if
they're
still
seeing
that
or
if
that
was
maybe
just
a
little
blip
that
they
saw.
G
G
And
so
we
we
looked
at
this
map
of
the
us
in
cases
along
with
weather,
and
I
don't
think
you
have
to
really
do
a
deep
analysis
to
really
see
how
how
well
the
patterns
of
cold
weather
are
aligning
with
the
number
of
cases
across
the
u.s.
So
that's
definitely
something
to
to
kind
of
keep
our
eyes
on,
especially
over
the
next
few
weeks,
as
as,
as
we
kind
of
watch
our
our
case
numbers
at
the
local
level.
G
So
this
is.
This
is
a
little
concerning,
I
think,
but
so
far
right
now
we're
we're
not
trending
in
a
great
way,
but
we're
not
seeing
a
surge
in
cases
either
and
that's
all
I
really
have
for
today.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
learn
more
from
dr
richardson
and
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
anyone
has
as
well.
C
Any
questions
from
tracy's
presentation
out
the
gate,
or
do
we
let's
just
kind
of
wait
and
let
dr
richardson
give
us
some
some
framework.
J
Thanks
anton
and
thank
you
tracy,
you
always
do
a
great
job
of
presenting
really
on
the
zip
code
level
for
charleston-
and
I
did
I
haven't
heard
from
you:
do
you
have
the
zip
code
level
data
again
for
the
dashboard.
J
Okay,
it
sounds
I
was
hoping
it
was
good
news,
since
I
haven't
heard
from
you,
but
so
just
a
little
explanation
for
that.
Dhec
realized
that
not
all
safeguards
were
being
followed
from
a
privacy
perspective
on
our
release
of
zip
code
level
data
across
the
state.
So
so
we
had
to
pull
that
back
short
term
trying,
though,
to
get
it
back
out
to
our
municipal
partners
and
and
others
to
ensure
that
those
dashboards
can
be
populated
for
for
sort
of
evidence-based
decision.
J
Making
around
covet
and
tracy
certainly
been
on
the
forefront
of
that
from
the
beginning,
and
we
appreciate
your
advocacy
of
that.
So
what
tracy
says
is
true
for
charleston
is
also
true
in
south
carolina
generally
now
the
cdc
says
that
all
50
states
are
actually
moving
in
the
wrong
direction.
J
That
has
it
was
like
37
states
and
we
were
not
one
of
them
and
there
was
43
and
we
were
one
of
those
and
the
most
recent
data
that's
been
sent
to
state
health
department
says
that
all
50
states
are
now
on
a
downward
trend
or
upward
trend
of
worsening
cases,
and
so,
but
it
is
true
that
south
carolina
is,
is
more
slowly
increasing
than
some
people
or
some
states.
J
So
that's
you
know.
We
definitely
are
tracking
it
closely.
Where
you
know.
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
talk
about
when
we're
talking
about
sort
of
demographics
is
looking
at
at
school-aged
children
and
we
are
happy
to
see
that
that
has
really
plateaued
and
this
is
for
low
country
region
generally.
So
we
see
little
blips
here
and
there,
but
generally
it
has
been
stable
now
for
some
time
in
all
age
groups
really
0
to
18
so
preschool
and
school
school-aged
children.
J
So
we
will
continue
to
to
watch
that
closely,
but
the
school
district,
I
think,
has
been
doing
a
wonderful
job
with
contact
tracing
close
contact
with
them
and
and
they
are
despite
a
lot
of
pushback,
continuing
to
to
institute
all
the
recommendations
that
we
in
the
cdc
are
giving
them
as
far
as
quarantine,
even
sometimes
for
large
numbers
of
of
contacts
to
a
case.
So
other
than
that
you
know,
I
don't
you
know.
J
I
I
just
want
to
talk
briefly
about
the
three
w's
and
and
ask
you
to
please
continue
to
get
the
message
out.
I
know
people
are
getting
tired
of
the
same
messages,
so
we
continue
to
try
to
say
it
in
a
slightly
different
way.
But
but
the
3ws
are
wear
masks,
wash
your
hands
and
watch
your
distance,
and
so
that's
a
slightly
different
spin
to
the
same
message
and
if
you
can
use
that
which,
with
your
constituencies,
please
do
so.
J
That
will
become
increasingly
important
as
it
gets
more
cold
and
as
the
holidays
come
around,
and
we
all
make
decisions
about,
seeing
those
that
we
love
and
have
missed,
but
also
trying
to
protect
their
health
and
the
health
of
our
communities.
Generally,
we
continue
to
recommend
testing
and
we
have
had
a
16
increase
in
testing
in
october
compared
to
september,
and
so
that's
certainly
in
a
positive
direction,
and
we
hope
that
that
will
continue
to
increase.
J
J
It
should
be
coming
out
soon
about
that,
so
we're
trying
to
increase
access
to
testing
on
the
peninsula
as
well
as
as
across
the
region.
So
we
continue
to
recommend
people
go
to
the
dhec
website
and
to
find
testing
locations.
I
think
it's
really
clear
which
ones
are
free,
which
ones
are
or
walk
up
or
drive
through.
J
We
are
not
doing
the
mp
swabs,
so
those
are
sort
of
deep
nasal,
swabs
anymore,
we're
doing
more
anterior
nasal
swabs
at
this
point
and
it's
all
pcr
testing
and
generally
the
results
are
coming
back
in
around
48
hours,
since
we've
really
cut
down
the
the
lag
time
and
then
musc
and
roper
and
federer,
and
many
of
our
other
partners
also
continue
to
provide
frequent
testing
in
the
community.
J
What
else
did
I
want
to
say
about
that?
I
think
that's
sort
of
the
general
update
for
for
covid.
So
do
we
want
to
take
a
break
paul
and
anton
and
take
questions
on
covid,
and
then
I
have
a
few
other
dha
updates.
C
Yeah-
let's
do
that
because
I
actually
have
a
couple
of
covered
questions
that
I
want
to
give
people
a
chance
to
paul.
You
had
a
thought
you
want
to
say
you're
on
mute,
paul.
B
I
just
want
to
remind
katie
to
talk
to
us
about
the
cdc,
dx,
understanding
of
social
distancing
and
the
cumulative.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
I'm
a
little
discombobulated
today,
I
think
I
said
I'm
too
late
last
night
and
I
shouldn't
we
don't
have
many
answers.
You
should've.
J
You're
right,
so
there
has
been
a
slight
change
in
in
how
we
calculate
the
time
period
for
a
close
contact,
and
this
is
something
that
dhec
actually
was
saying
even
before
the
cdc
serve
came
out
officially.
But
but
we
are
now
and
it's
based
on
an
mmwr
report
from
I
think
from
the
30th
of
october.
J
But
it
now
does
not
need
to
be
a
15
minute
period
in
one
time
stretch.
We
now
would
like
the
time
period
to
be
calculated
as
a
cumulative
15
minutes
over
a
24
hour
period,
and
that
really
comes
from
a
study
at
a
correctional
facility
where
an
employee
had
multiple
brief
exposures,
two
inmates
with
coven
19
in
vermont,
and
he
you
know.
J
I
think
it
was
a
well-done
study
that
that
was
able
to
say
that
this
is
likely
where
he
contracted
covet
19
and
so
that,
along
with
some
other
evidence,
but
that's
really
sort
of
what
finally
had
the
cdc
to
come
out
with
this
official
change.
And
so
even
if
it's
you
know
a
flag
football
team
where
it's.
You
know
one
or
two
or
three
minute
time
periods.
But
over
our
hour
and
a
half
period
of
playing
sports
together,
those
children
were
within
six
feet
of
each
other.
J
Then
we
do
believe
that
those
kids
in
that
example
should
be
considered
close
contacts
and
asked
to
quarantine
for
the
14
days.
So
thank
you
paul
for
reminding
me
to
to
discuss
that.
C
I
I
also
have
a
question
about
the
testing.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
how
rampant
or
robust
testing
is
now,
and
my
wife
is
a
coach
in
the
high
school
level,
and
she
told
me
that
she
received
a
notice
that
saliva
testing
is
available
for
student
athletes,
who
are
preparing
for
the
spring
season.
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
should
know
about
the
you
know,
pcr
testing
versus
you
know
saliva
testing
and
the
effectiveness
of
it?
Do
you
recommend
that
people
do
one
or
the
other.
J
That's
a
great
question
and
that's
an
area
that
certainly
is
has
been
rapidly
evolving,
so
so
charleston
county.
I
can
speak
about
charleston
county
school
district.
First,
if
that's
where
your
your
wife.
J
So
musc
has
has
graciously
offered
and
it's
about
to
roll
out
if
it
didn't
roll
out
yesterday
very
soon,
we'll
be
providing
saliva
testing
supplies
to
the
school
district
so
to
all
schools
along
with
guidelines
on
their
use,
and
they
will
recommend.
I
believe
that
the
saliva
based
testing
be
used
for
symptomatic
students
and
staff.
J
Those
will
then
be
couriered
to
musc
and
will
be
run,
and
hopefully
the
result
will
be
back
in
one
to
two
days.
It
is
a
pcr
based
test.
The
sensitivity
is
slightly
less
than
the
nasal
swab,
but
it's
sort
of
low
90s
versus
mid
90s.
So
for
the
vast
majority
of
cases
we
will
trust
the
result
from
that
saliva
test.
J
There
may
be
a
very
few
cases
where
our
sort
of
pre-test
probability
is
extremely
high,
that
that
we
may
recommend
going
doing
the
virtual
care
through
musc
and
then
going
in
to
get
a
nasal
swab
in
the
drive-through
testing
that
they
offer,
but
by
and
large
the
saliva
based
testing
results
will
hold
true.
J
So
that
is
a
wonderful
service
that
musc
through
back
to
business
and
their
testing
group
is
putting
in
place,
and
I
believe
they
do
hope
to
sort
of
expand
that
once
charleston
county
begins
and
sort
of
gets
into
a
rhythm,
they
have
other
schools
that
are
their
back
to
business
clients,
and
then
I
think
they
hope
to
you
know
further
expand
it,
as
as
they
have
ability
to
do
so
now.
In
addition
to
that,
dhec
is
very
close
to
rolling
out
binax.
Now,
testing
kits
to
schools
across
the
state.
J
That
is
a
rapid
antigen
test
sort
of
looks
like
a
credit
card
is
done
on
a
nasal.
J
Swab
and
sort
of
the
final
pieces
are
coming
into
place
for
clia
waivers,
so
sort
of
lab
waiver,
since
the
test
will
actually
be
done
at
the
school
and
how
charleston
county
will
incorporate
these,
which
are
not
as
sensitive
as
the
pcr
testing,
but
do
offer
sort
of
a
rapid
result
how
they
will
incorporate
the
binax
now
I
know
I
certainly
don't
know
how
they
will
use
that,
but
most
other
school
districts
that
will
not
have
access
to
the
saliva
testing
initially
will
be
able
to
use
these
cards
on
again
on
symptomatic
students
and
staff,
with
parent
all,
with
parent
permission
prior
to
them
being
sort
of
picked
up
and
going
home
if
they
are
symptomatic
and
then
because
it
has
a
lower
sensitivity.
J
Those
tests
that
are
negative
but
again
the
the
child
is
symptomatic
and
may
not
sort
of
improve
quickly.
Often
the
recommendation
will
be
that
they
follow
that
up
with
a
pcr
test,
and
so
that's
what
I
know
about
sort
of
school-based
testing.
The
final
part
I
want
to
say
about
saliva
based
testing
is
that
dhec
is
also
starting
to
roll
this
out
slowly
to
the
general
public.
So
we
may
still
have
some
saliva
testing
kits
available
at
where
they
were
initially
distributed
to
all
of
our
health
departments.
J
So
you
could
go
into
any
dhec
health
department
pick
up
up
to
five
tests
and
with
giving
names
for
the
test,
but
they
don't
have
to
be
the
same
people
that
return
them.
They
can
be
used
any
time
between
when
you
pick
them
up
in
june,
they're
mailed
in
by
a
fedex
and
and
results
are
delivered,
and
so
we
certainly
you
know
this
is
really
a
supply
issue
of
getting
enough
saliva
kits.
We
know
that
that
this
is
preferable
to
to
some.
J
Although
I've
also
heard
the
opposite
that
some
people
who've
tried,
the
saliva
really
now
prefer
to
go
back
to
the
nasal
swap,
so
we
just
want
to
increase
sort
of
the
options
to
encourage
testing
and
and
more
to
come
on
the
increased
availability
of
that
for
the
general
public
in
the
coming
weeks.
C
I
find
it
funny
that
people
want
to
go
back
to
the
nasal
swab
for
a
test.
I
guess
people
like
getting
their
brain
scratched.
C
Okay,
any
other
questions
for
dr
richardson
on
on
all
of
this.
D
Anton
I
had
a
a
quick
question.
Yes,
you
know
katie.
You
mentioned
the
fact
that
in
school-aged
children
right
now
in
south
carolina
who
seem
to
be
doing
pretty
well
and
tracy
obviously
produced
that
lovely
map
that
showed
that
in
the
colder
climate
areas,
there's
a
pretty
dramatic
increase,
and
I
guess
my
question
was
do
do
we
have
any
examples.
I
guess
one
first
part
of
the
question
is,
as
we've
seen
cases
rise
in
those
colder
climate
areas.
D
Have
we
seen
school-aged
children
be
a
part
of
that
population?
That's
seeing
an
increase
in
their
cases
and
are
there
any
examples
of
maybe
these
colder
climate
areas
where
maybe
there
isn't
as
much
of
a
spike
in
school-age
children
that
might
offer
some
advice
or
recommendations
to
us
as
we
head
into
our
colder
months.
In
order
for
us
to
try
to
keep
down
our
case
rate
among
school-aged
children.
J
That's
a
great
question
and
I'm
I'm
not
seeing
sort
of
good
data
published
on
that
part
of
is
that
you
know
states
are
still
still
so
diverse
between
how
many
kids
are
back
in
school
and
how
how
that
looks
across
different
areas.
So
I
don't
know
you
know,
I
guess
what
I'll
say.
Is
I've
not
seen
evidence
that
there
are
spikes
in
school-aged
clusters,
for
instance
anywhere
in
the
country?
I'm
not
I
shouldn't
say
anywhere.
J
I
don't
know
everywhere,
but
I've
not
heard
of
of
examples
that
have
gotten
much
press
about
large
spikes
in
in
school-aged.
J
Children
being
you
know,
contributing
to
the
to
the
increases,
but
we'll
certainly
be
watching
that
closely
in
south
carolina,
both
as
more
children
do
go
back
to
school
in
the
coming
weeks
and
then,
as
as
schools
move
into
winter
sports,
many
of
which
are
indoors
and
close
contact,
basketball
and
wrestling
or
two
that
you
know
they
come
to
mind
that
I
think
schools
are
being
very
deliberate
and
in
trying
to
put
protocols
in
place
to
decrease
the
risk.
J
But
I
I
will
be
interested
to
see
you
know
how
how
that
affects
our
school
age,
children's
rates
and
then
obviously
travel
and
holidays,
and
what
families
choose
to
do
with
that
time,
I
think,
will
affect
it
as
well.
E
Katie,
I
have
a
question
just
a
follow-up
on
what
you
just
said
as
we're
coming
into
the
holidays,
and
we
also
have
a
lot
of
the
college
students
that
will
be
coming
back
after
being
wherever
and
wanting
to
gather
with
families.
What
is
the
recommendation
around
quarantining
and
or
using
testing
as
a
way
to
then
make
some
decisions
about
family
gatherings
or
even
just
bringing
those
folks
back
into
the
home.
J
I
mean
you
know,
I
think,
either
good
recommendations.
I
prefer
the
testing
route
again.
I
think
the
access
is
really
there
now.
I
don't
know
that.
There's,
like
a
you,
know,
a
specific
sort
of
amount
of
time,
but
I
think
have
it.
You
know
doing
testing
near
the
end
of
their
time
at
college,
and
then
you
know
shortly
after
they
get
home
and
potentially
quarantining
for
that
time
before
the
result
returns
certainly
would
would
make
sense.
J
I
have
heard
a
number
of
families
and
think
it's
a
great
idea
that
that
and
we're
not
recommending
any
sort
of
larger
gatherings,
but
if
there
are
families
who
are
hoping
to
gather
over
the
holidays
that
you
know
having
all
the
family
members
tested
prior
to
that,
so
that
they
can
test
and
get
their
result
back
certainly
offers
some
reassurances,
although
the
person
can
certainly
become
infected
the
day
after
they
test,
but
some
reassurances,
we
we
had
another
recent
study
in
mmwr
with
with
a
a
child
who,
over
a
summer
break,
was
tested,
did
test
negative
proceeded
to
go
and
be
with
a
large
family
gathering
in
a
house
together
and
and
a
majority
of
those
family
members
did
get
did
get
infected
from
from
that
event.
J
So
I
think
testing-
and
you
know
our
preference
is
for
pcr
testing.
But
but
if
antigen
testing
is
what
is
available,
you
know
any
testing
is
better
than
none.
Thank
you.
K
Dr
richardson,
I
have
a
quick
question
based
on
a
recommendation
from
dhec
which
I've
seen
saying
for
those
folks
who
are
out
and
about
in
the
community.
The
recommendation
is
to
get
tested
monthly.
Just
so,
for
folks,
as
clarification,
do
you
can
you
remind
us
what
that
means
out
and
about
so
that
we
know
who
needs
to
on
a
monthly
basis,
go
and
get
tested.
J
I
really
interpret
that
to
be
pretty
much
everyone
I
mean
if
your
grandmother
is
really
staying
at
home
and
someone's
bringing
their
groceries
in
and
they're.
You
know
not
staying
for
15
minutes,
and
so
they
really
have
very
little
contact
with
those
outside
of
their
home.
Then
they
may
not
qualify
for
pretty
much.
Anyone
who
is
leaving
their
home
for
work
for
school
for
shopping
are
those
that
are
out
and
about,
and
that's
even
those
who
are
practicing
the
3ws
that
we
talked
about
wearing
a
mask
washing
your
hands.
J
Trying
to
keep
your
distance,
though
that's
the
group
that
we
recommend
once
a
month,
if
you're,
unable
or
unwilling
to
do
those
three
w's,
then
we
recommend
more
frequently
than
once
a
month
and
there's
no
limit
to
how
many
times
d
heck.
You
know
if
you
cut
go
to
a
d-hack
site
for
testing,
there
is
no
criteria
that
you
have
to.
You
know
waited
a
certain
amount
of
time
from
your
last
test
to
be
able
to
be
retested.
J
So
that
is
a
message
that
that
we're
working
hard
to
get
out,
and
I
appreciate
you
asking
that
joey
and
would
would
be
grateful.
You
know
for
any
help
in
getting
that
message
out
that
everyone,
even
without
symptoms,
should
be
tested
at
least
once
a
month,
that's
without
symptoms
and
not
being
a
close
contact.
So
for
sure,
if
you
have
symptoms,
we
recommend
testing
immediately
and
if
you've
been
named
as
a
closed
contact.
We
recommend
testing,
if
asymptomatic
and
on
day
7
after
that
contact
and
if
symptomatic
at
any
time
during
that
time.
C
I
know
we
got
a
couple
more
agenda
items
and
I
see
some
questions
in
the
chat.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
dr
richardson
to
look
at
what's
in
the
chat,
particularly
from
dan
borenstein,
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
go
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
a
help
in
all
policies
update.
If
there's
a
brief
update,
because
I
really
do
want
to
allow
a
little
bit
of
time
for
the
community
update
at
the
end
so
helping
our
policies
update,
paul,
I'm
gonna
flip
it
to
you.
C
E
Can
I
share
my
screen
paul?
Yes,.
E
Okay
can
y'all
see
the
slide.
C
E
Okay,
great
so
last
tuesday
we
provided
a
brief
update
to
city
council
and
on
the
health
in
all
policies
and
then
requested
a
an
approval
of
our
motion.
So
just
as
a
reminder,
our
emotion
that
we
crafted
at
our
last
meeting,
I
believe,
was
october.
7Th
was
that
city
council
approved
our
health
and
all
policies
approach
specifically
around
the
2020
charleston
city
plan,
and
that
was
approved
and
supported.
Councilman,
shealy
and
councilman
seeking
both
spoke
on
behalf
of
our
committee
and
our
work.
E
So
I
think
it
was
really
well
received
and
as
far
as
the
next
steps,
I
think
that
any
and
all
of
these
are
on
the
table,
but
I
think
certainly
first
step
would
be,
as
we
talked
about
in
our
last
meeting,
to
form
a
subcommittee
to
establish
kind
of
a
path
forward.
So
what
is
that?
What
does
that
framework
look
like?
E
And
how
do
we
participate
in
that
city
planning
process
using
the
health
and
all
policies
approach
and
then
certainly
would
also
like
to
to
consider
further
down
the
road,
considering
a
a
resolution
of
some
sort
to
really
implement
this?
Not
just
in
this
in
the
plant
city
plan,
but
in
all
of
the
different
areas
of
the
city
governance.
E
B
B
Joey
has
been
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
with
it
and
and
meredith
berlinsky
from
roper
saint
francis
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
anybody
else,
but
those
four
at
least
wanted
to
to
and
susan
of
course,
but
those
four
wanted
to
be
engaged
in
this
and
I'll
I'll,
be
the
staff
person
with
it
as
well.
C
I
was
gonna
recommend
we
just
go
with
that
that
that
group
since
they're
vested
and
interested-
and
we
can
give
them
the
opportunity
to
to
move
in.
Oh
okay,
yes,
hey.
L
It's
laura,
you
are
in
recreation,
we're
working
on
our
parks
and
rec
master
plan,
and
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
this
starts
coming
around,
that
this
equity
piece
and
model
is
picked
up
in
that
I'm
very
concerned
with
where
we're
seeing
gaps
right
now-
and
I
think
covet
has
put
us
in
some
more
gap
areas.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
stays
in
our
our
consultant
is
doing
some
work
with
us.
So
I
want
to
plug
into
that.
Okay,.
I
C
Very
good,
very,
very
good,
okay,
so
let's
jump
to
the
community
update
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
cover
some
of
the
things
I
see
in
the
chat
just
so
I
know
we
have
people
on
youtube.
Who
may
not
be
able
to
see
the
chat,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I
relate
those
comments.
So
let
me
go
to
the
community
update
and
let
me
turn
it
over
to
who
was
that
wanted
to
make
a
comment?
M
Thank
you
anton
hey
everybody,
since
I'm
a
newer
member
of
the
committee.
You
may
not
know
what
I
really
do,
but
I
do
employ
wellness.
M
M
M
If
anybody
knows
about
the
national
diabetes
prevention
program,
it
is
a
cdc
program.
It's
not
a
diet
program.
It's
not
an
exercise
program,
it's
a
program
to
empower
people
to
take
control
of
their
health
and
what
a
better,
no
better
time
to
do
it
than
than
right
now.
So,
thanks
to
jan
the
class,
I'm
starting
today
is
almost
full
with
city
employees.
I'm
excited
to
to
share
and
a
contact
over
at
the
county
has
done
a
great
job
getting
the
word
out,
but
I
wanted
to
just
mention
it
to
all
of
y'all.
M
If
you
know
anybody
katie
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
this
grant
is
available
right
now,
because
we
all
know
that
diabetes
and
cardiovascular
disease
put
you
at
it's
a
comorbidity
for
covid,
so
the
timing
could
not
be
better.
So
if
y'all
know
anybody
have
them
reach
out
to
me,
you
know
paul.
You
can
probably
share
my
email
with
anybody
who
who
needs
it
or
you.
I
can
just
put
it
in
the
chat
real
quickly.
M
I'll
just
do
that,
but
thank
you
anton
for
giving
me
a
few
times
a
few
minutes
to
tell
everybody
about
this
free
money.
This
program
is
virtual
and
it's
free
doesn't
get
much
better.
C
Very
good:
let's
get
a
quick
flu
update
from
katie
to
give
us
an
update
about
the
flu.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
anton
sorry.
I
seem
to
have
a
lot
of
information
these
days,
but
we
unfortunately
we're
not
doing
our
school
located
flu
vaccine
clinics
this
year
to
try
to
keep
visitors
out
of
schools,
but
we
are
doing
community
flu
clinics
and
paul
already
shared
the
schedule
for
last
week
and
this
week
with
this
group,
I
will
continue
sharing
those
with
him,
but
they
are
generally
walk-ins
or
even
drive-throughs.
J
J
Fortunately,
we
are
not
seeing
any
significant
flu
activity
yet
in
south
carolina,
but
we
continue
to
believe
that
this
year
is
one
of
the
most
important
years
of
our
lives
to
get
a
flu
vaccine
and
so
very
much
so
we
are
asking
for
everyone
to
prioritize
this
and
to
to
continue
to
attend,
but
generally
our
northwoods
clinic
our
somerville
clinic
at
our
college
health
department
and
they'll
also
be
around
the
lowcountry
region.
J
C
Definitely
thank
you
for
that
update
and
you
reminded
me
I
got
to
go,
get
my
flu
vaccine
today,
so
I'm
going
to
get
it,
so
anybody
have
any
other
thoughts
or
comments
that
they'd
like
to
add
before
we
bring
the
meeting
to
a
close.
J
And
todd
I
did
want
to
give
one
last
update
and
that's
on
our
fast
track.
Cities
initiative.
That's
for
ending
the
hiv
epidemic.
We
do
have
a
sort
of
initial
grant
proposal
out
through
the
patient-centered
outcomes,
research
institute
to
form
sort
of
a
community
consortium
bringing
together
those
living
with
hiv,
as
well
as
those
at
risk
or
those
who
support
family
or
friends
living
with
id.
J
We
we
want
to
be
able
to
to
pay
these
participants
for
their
time
and
expertise,
and
so
I
hope
to
we
hope
to
hear
within
the
next
month
if
we
are
asked
to
put
in
a
sort
of
full
proposal
for
us,
but
it
was
very
much
is
a
partnership
continues
to
be
a
partnership
that
really
grew
out
of
our
work
in
this
committee
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
all
participants
and
we'll
continue
to
keep
everyone
in
the
loop
as
this
develops.
Thank
you.
I
Mayor,
please
go
ahead,
mr
chairman,
while
while
other
folks
are
are
thinking
about
who's
going
to
be
the
next
president
of
the
united
states,
I'm
thankful
that
we're
thinking
about
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
everyday
citizens
and
what
we
can
do
to
make
a
difference
here
locally.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
we're
going
to
continue
this
work
and
what
a
great
team
we
have
here.
Thank
you.
C
Great
well
well,
thank
you
very
much
and
dan.
I
know
you
got
to
jump
and
a
few
other
people
have
to
jump
as
well.
I
want
to
say
that
we
will
also
plan
to
try
to
put
together
a
special
meeting
to
talk
about
health
disparities
in
health
equity.
That's
been
a
charge
that
we've
been
been
asked
to
contribute
to
and
participate
in,
and
I
don't
think
our
regular
meeting
schedule
will
allow
us
the
time
to
be
able
to
dive
into
this
at
the
way
that
we
need
to.
C
So
we
want
to
try
to
put
together
some
special
meetings
to
talk
about
this,
and
so
you'll
hear
more
about
that
in
the
coming
weeks.
To
respond
to
that.
So
with
that
I'll
be
happy
to
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn,
go
move.
